Illinois UCLA here on Fox Friday night. So happy to have you inside the Rose Bowl of Pasadena, California. Landon Ellis to the bottom. They go empty. Keepbach with time looping IT TO A WIDE OPEN MYEL. IT IS TOUCHDOWN 54 yds. It looks like everyone else is in manto man, but he's in zone coverage. And when you do that, THIS IS HOW you create opportunities down the field. His fourth touchdown reception. Seventh touchdown passing for deep and high and end over end. And look at that coverage. Look at that to gather that one in. Rosett did I think what he thought was the right thing to do. 38 yd boots punt.
Brilliantly executed. Per boot his longest 55. He needs a good one here. Low snap and almost out there. Marker down two. We may have a penalty against UCLA. Is going to be against the foul roughing the kicker. Defense number 18. 15 yd penalty from the previous spot. Automatic first down. I mean, just relentless pursuit trying to get to the punter and that acceleration at the end right through the leg of the punter. That's a good job by the officials not making that running into the kicker. He completely takes him
out and it's a free set of downs. Wow. In that game, no doubt. And without the gray in the on the beard, I' I'd say he looks like he could still play. Going deep this time. And it is intercepted in the end zone by Jackson who had Dixon blanketed. Offensive coordinator had of him all the way back to the days at Holy Cross when Chzn was coaching there. Even long before they got to JMU out pattern and here's Meiselle. Look at him go. AIDEN MEISELLE COULD GO FOR MILES and is down inside the 20 at the 15. give him 63 yds on that connection. And here after the play fake, bootleg action, THE THROW INTERCEPTED by Illinois. It's Juice Clark. Now there's the second mistake by Definbach and his receiver was open early, but he
threw it late. Freak's been in place for 73 years. Paul Cameron in 53. No, it's a play fake to him and it's a touchdown with a marker down for Deathbot. Yeah, it's going to come back cuz it's going to be a tackle on the receiver. Personal foul. Illegal block below the waist. Offense number 11. They do have that two-score lead. He was pretty dormant in the second and uh we do not see Tai Devenbach out there at all. does appear that this is going to be Madden Lava's game the rest of the way.
Think about that where the Bruins are to be nine and0. Only the seventh first down for Illinois. Here comes a safety blitz late. Hower again unloads. Might be intercepted if he stayed in. Yes, he did. And it's such a great play. Just watch him running through your screen. He sees Hower in trouble. He sees him try to throw it away. And then he accelerates and takes the football away WITHOUT GLOVES. WHAT A GREAT CATCH. OH, Morgan in motion. Sets up in that slot. Maybe looking that way. Pressure and they got to him. Ismail ke 26 came bursting through from his linebacker position and Lava just had to eat it.
Colin Hitchford's defense has just been outstanding. HOWER AND THERE IS GOBRA AGAIN. IT'S A SAFETY. Of course he has talent but it was about the FACT THAT HE BRINGS IT EVERY DAY. HE IS RELENTLESS. HE WILL NOT BE STOPPED AND GETS TO HOWER FOR THE SAFETY. Nice job for Byra. He's on the edge here. Late blitz underneath. Perfect call against it. That's Fagan, the tight end. And he's inside the 20. He has been a nemesis to Kate Howser tonight. Fagen is the tight end. Hower with time. That pass is caught. It's Fagen. Touchdown. They hide Kaden Fagan and he's a big guy so it's hard to do but he comes out of the back field on a seam type wheel route.
I know a lot of cynics don't like the term highpointed but that play right there that reception was the definition of it. Here comes Ty Defenbach back onto the field to a rocka's welcome and a standing ovation from this crowd. Play fake. That pass is caught by Meiselle inside the 30. And now Marcus forward progress at the 27. Anthony Woods is checked back in at running back. Choice of receivers at the top. DEFINBACH TO THE END ZONE. MORGAN, YOU'VE JUST BEEN SMED. COMING into this game. He was the leading receiver on this team. A guy that's depended on. I just talked about his leadership. That's a big time play in a big time moment here in the Rose Bowl.
Time winding down. And that pass is caught inside the 10 and it is Dixon because the Jaylen Woods loss was a big blow. Fourth and goal. If you're UCLA, you have to be aware of those big plays at the top of your screen. HOWER BACK OF THE END ZONE. TOUCHDOWN DIXON. Once they try to roll you off, you get vertical up the field and he's wide open. Extra point is good. It could come down to this. This may be their final chance. Incomplete. Colin Dixon took the 10 yd. So now it's third and 18. THAT PASS IS INTERCEPTED.
SCOOTER JACKSON'S GOT IT. SCOOTER IS A SCOOTING DOWN THE SIDELINE. THE BRUINS come away with a pooer. His longest, by the way, is only 40 from the right half. And it is good. And no timeouts remaining. Under pressure. Don't want to take a sack, but he does. Now the clock's going to go tick. Sire West. And the result of this play will tell you the story. They got to Boyd. It affected the pass. And this game should be history as a result.
